This summer, St. Paul native and former Minnesota Twin Jack Morris will be 

enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

His most famous performance on the mound came in 1991 during game seven of the World Series. He started and finished the game, pitching 10 shutout innings to give the Twins a 1-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves.

MPR's Bill Wareham covered the game and talked to Twins pitcher Rick Aguilera, who was usually called on to pitch in the late innings of close games, about warming up several times but never going into the game.

A few days after their win, the Twins were invited to a celebration of their victory at the White House. This week's archival story also features President George H. W. Bush talking about the highlights of the series, the world champion Twins team and Morris, the MVP of the series.
